UNTAMED By Esther Esuga

A roller-coaster on a velocity that is totally  uncontrollable
A  fire that ignites, goes out of bounds and wipes the greens away

Usually very brief yet highly intense
Like a downpour of rain which should bring blessings
But, ironically destroys all the lovely, attractive and historic structures
That took one almost a lifetime to build

Very easy to wreck; its destruction almost impossible to re-build such fondness
What could have been averted just within a split second
Alas!
It stings so deep that such wounds are nursed almost for a lifetime

When we already spoilt a supposed pleasant supper
Realization comes in
What often times could have been avoided
We allow ourselves to wallow in such myopic feelings of the moment
And allow it to bring out the foolishness in us.
